The Estate

Château La Croix de Gay is a red wine produced in the Pomerol appellation. The vineyard is 3.7 hectares and the vines grow in Günz and Mindel gravel. The ageing is done in barrels (60% new and 40% of a wine) for an average of 18 months.In historic center of Pomerol, since 1477, the Raynaud-Lebreton family combines burgundian idea of “climats” (unique individuality of each plot of vines) and bordeaux culture of blend. Château La Croix de Gay is one of the oldest estates of the appellation, archetypal Pomerol with the roundness and flavour of ripe merlot grapes with silky melted tannins. 

Blend

93% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

Wine Advocate-Parker : 89 / 100
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Croix de Gay gives up notes of asphalt, sautéed herbs and damp soil over a core of baked black plums, fruitcake and dried mulberries. Medium-bodied, the palate has a fair bit of chew with just enough muscular fruit and an herbal lift on the finish.
